House of Svala
In her fashion company House of Svala, Alexandra Sjöberg designs garments and accessories with materials and techniques associated with traditional craftsmanship and the nature of Lapland, combined with modern lines and cuts. I was commissioned to design and develop a new website for the company, and decided to do it as a kind of digital picture book, that is with images as large as the screen (whatever screen) allows, with minimal number of other elements.
In connection with the new website, I also adjusted the existing logo to better reflect the geometrical shapes of House of Svala’s design.

Hikki - website
Distinctive typography set in Futura and irregular horizontal lines reflect the meeting between nature and design that Hikkis products are known for.
Ox Choral
The third album with my one-man folk drone orchestra Nattavaara Rocks. A digital album in physical form, or an album for the 21st century, if you will.
Affärsliv24
In the autumn of 2015 Västerbottens-Kuriren launched their business news website Affärsliv24. I was asked to develop a logo, guidelines for typography, color schemes, icons and layout.
Ghosts Move Through
Packaging design of the second album from my music project Nattavaara Rocks. A 16-page digitally printed booklet glued inside a handmade, embossed cover.
Elin Magnusson
Website for artist Elin Magnusson. Lots of white space, unobtrusive typography and barely any color leaves a neutral space for the art.
House of Svala
How do you present fashion on the web? With images as large as the screen allows and discrete design of a website which is really a lookbook.
Sisters of Jam
Website and typographic expression for the artist duo Sisters of Jam, a collaboration between artists and sisters Mikaela and Moa Krestesen.
Handbound journals
A book is, despite all the digital innovations, unmatched when it comes to accessibility and simplicity. In addition, it lacks batteries.
Annova H&B
Logo for printing and embossing and a responsive website with focus on large product images package Annova H & B.
Embossed business cards
If you come across a rare piece of dyed raw black cardboard, it’s difficult to resist the impulse to emboss it. So I turned it into business cards.
Norberg Sounds
A website without any links, menus or subpages contains the content: music suited for moving images, composed by me.
Linoleum printing
Linoleum printing is one of the easiest and cheapest graphical techniques. With a little patience, a sharp knife and a paint roller one can achieve great things.
Text in the 21st century
Retina screens and OLED technology and E-ink. Fine and good and superduper. But you haven’t lived until you have embossed a leather journal using movable type.
What does a button look like?
What does a button look like, what happens when I press it, and how flat can it become before I stop perceiving it as a button?
